Description

The sculpture was inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s “The Story of a Mother”.

Death has robbed the mother of her child. The unhappy woman is doubled up on the ground while Death, in the form of a skeleton, is hurrying away with his cloak flapping around him and a scythe over his shoulder.

The effect of the group is based on the contrast between the dynamic movement and the immovable stare of the woman, the whole designed to produce an impressive overall rhythm
